Herrenberg Grosses Gewachs Riesling 2022

Weingut Pfeffingen, idyllically located amidst its vineyards, is operated by oenologists Jan Eymael, his wife Karin and his mother Doris. All three of them are passionate wine-growers, whose unconditional endeavors to achieve top quality, even on a small scale, make this traditional Pfälzer family operation truly special. Herrenberg, the vineyard this wine calls home, is one of the most famous vineyards in the Pfalz region. In 1828, it was classified by the Royal-Bavarian Land Taxation laws as a first-class vineyard. The mild climate produces powerful, but elegant wines with a good acidity structure. The soil is dominated by a high content of limestone which adds a very mineral character to the wine. In English, this means this gorgeous Riesling opens with notes of peach, apricot, and powdered ginger. Beautifully textured, yet dry, the wine is soft, yet powerful, and elegant from the first sip to the last. A perfect exemplar of the 2022 vintage. Do not wait on this one.
